•Small Worlds•
With the cold weather here in Victoria,
We had a quite Sunday inside exploring our small worlds play.
We changed up how it’s presented with using the floor for our @magicwoodtoys large treehouse from @oskarswoodenark .
What did you get up to today? .

•New Creative Station•
We have been getting a few messages about our new set up so I thought I would share the details for everyone.
On top - @ikea_australia paper holder and @joguines_grapat rings
Top shelf - a mix of whiteboard and chalk markers to use on our Perspex easel
Middle shelf - Glass jars from @kmartaus with our wild republic animals - butterfly’s, dogs and sea animals from @wilddough.co and our @grimmswoodentoys gems
Bottom shelf - stamps and rollers and a few tubs of Wild dough co playdough.
This station allows the kids to have free range over creating their own playdough set up. Over time we will change up what’s out as well a creating inviting play Dough and art to explore. .

Our Parent + Me Classes are indoor/ outdoor, so I pick up all of our rugs to prevent muddy footprints.
.
Sometimes I start to complain about how inconvenient it is to pick them up and prep for class, but thennn I picture our previously carpeted classroom and I’m so so grateful.
.
PS an electric swiffer is probably the best thing I’ve ever purchased.

Happy Monday, friends!✨
Isn’t it funny how quickly life changes? Things that seem like a huge deal in the moment suddenly seem like #nbd ♀️ Last Monday, I was unbelievably stressed about the requirements for increasing our student capacity - to the point that I thought I might actually have an anxiety attack. I was way behind schedule in my goals for my mentorship program, overwhelmed by the thought of marketing more preschool spaces, feeling like a failure in motherhood... just all the things.
Friday morning, I posted that I needed to recalibrate + refocus, and that I did I made huge progress on my mentorship program over the weekend, which I couldn’t be more excited about! I have some awesome collab projects coming up. I have a couple of tours scheduled for tomorrow morning. And we officially passed our fire inspection this morning!
I still have about ten million things to knock off my to do list before our session begins in two weeks, but I love the feeling of progress
Oh I so get that today!!! .

I'm seriously just so so in love with these playstands, and I just pinch myself to think that I actually designed and built this beautiful piece of play furniture. Playstands aren't "new" by any means; they are etched in the traditions of waldolf/steiner kindergartens. We have though put our special mark on it. Simple. Elegant. Magical. A blank canvas ready to transform they way you play .
.message me to chat about your personal preferences as I would dearly love to create something special for you.
